To celebrate our 45th Reunion Anniversary, the Reunion Committee planned 2 reunions, one in Honolulu (as voted by 2003 reunionites in Las Vegas) and another party in Las Vegas a month later.

The Honolulu Reunion was held on October 2-4, 2008 in Honolulu. For different reasons, many mainlanders canceled attendance plans at the last minute (it’s the economy, stupid!).  Although it was smaller than usual, it was nevertheless quite memorable.  And we all looked fabulous!
